I'm a novice programmer who is attempting assembly for the first time. Sorry in advance if this is an incredibly lame question.

I have a character stored in the EAX register, but I need to move it to my DL register. When I try: mov dl, eax I get an error C2443: operand size conflict. I know that the eax register is 32 bit while the dl is 8 bit... am I on to something?? How do I go about solving this.
